Chapter 82 Running errands in the county town



After arriving in the county town, Lin Xiaoxiao did not go to the abandoned station immediately, but instead took a short walk around the town to check out a few places first.

Then we went to the abandoned station.

The abandoned station wasn't far from where she was now, and she arrived at it quickly.

Upon closer inspection, one could see an old man sitting at the entrance of the abandoned station, fiddling with something.

Lin Xiaoxiao greeted the old man.

The old man let her in.

Lin Xiaoxiao not only wanted to find tractor parts, but also wanted to see if she could find any good treasures at the abandoned site.

Indeed, once inside, Lin Xiaoxiao activated the space's functions.

This discovery actually yielded some valuable items; one very unassuming bowl turned out to be from the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Xiaoxiao continued searching, but it seemed there was nothing left; all she found were some modern items.

It has nothing special about it.

Lin Xiaoxiao focused on finding the parts needed for the tractor. After searching for a long time, she actually found a piston plate.

It's just rusted; it can be used again after some repairs.

After tidying up these things.

She went to the book section tonight and picked up some newspapers first.

In the countryside, newspapers are always useful.

Lin Xiaoxiao's search actually yielded two valuable ancient books.

Having found absolutely nothing of value, she left.

The old man at the door saw what she was carrying; it wasn't anything valuable or large, so he subconsciously asked her for 2 cents.

Lin Xiaoxiao simply paid the money and left.

After walking for a while and seeing that no one was around, she put the rest of her things into her spatial storage.

After finishing all that, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't rest. Instead, she asked a passerby and found the largest market in the area.

Her space contained many pots and pans from the Lin and Wen families, all of which looked brand new and without a single chip.

After all, neither family is short of money.

She planned to find someone at the market to sell it.

I wandered around the market a couple of times and saw a few older women chatting and talking.

Lin Xiaoxiao then went up to a kind-looking old lady and secretly asked if she wanted any of the things in her basket.

The old lady took one look and saw that there were quite a few items, and they were in good condition. She didn't need them herself, but her neighbor did.

The old lady took Lin Xiaoxiao directly to her neighbor's house.

When the old lady from this household saw the things in the basket, her eyes lit up. After negotiating a price with Lin Xiaoxiao, she bought them all in one go.

Lin Xiaoxiao first sold off the Lin family's belongings.

Then they found another family, brought out the Wen family's belongings and asked them, just in time to ask someone who needed them.

The Wen family's things are much better than the Lin family's; they come in complete sets, which the old lady really likes. But this kind of style is rare even in the county town. The old lady couldn't help but ask Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Girl, these are all top-quality items, why are you selling them?"

Lin Xiaoxiao had already thought about how to answer: "Auntie, you don't know, my mother passed away a long time ago. The person in my family is my stepmother. Having a stepmother is like having a stepfather."

“My stepmother thought I was in the way and made me a sent-down youth, so I simply cut ties with them. But these were all things my mother bought with her money, and I didn’t want to leave them for my stepmother, so I took them all out.”

“I don’t need that many myself, so I want to sell them to supplement my living expenses.”

When the old lady heard Lin Xiaoxiao say this, she no longer suspected anything. She knew that this was a pitiful child. Her own child was about to get married and had built a new house, and she was worried about the high cost of these things.

Lin Xiaoxiao's bowls, basins, and other household items are all in good condition. After washing and scalding them, they can be used just like new.

Finally, Lin Xiaoxiao took two cups out.

I sold goods from two stores and earned nearly 7 yuan, plus two meat coupons valid nationwide.

This amount of money isn't much, but even a small amount is still money. She can't take these things out of her spatial storage, and just having them there is unsettling.

After selling all these items, it was lunchtime.

She went directly to a state-run restaurant for a meal, packed 10 large steamed buns, a serving of braised pork ribs, braised pork belly, a plate of fried fish, and put all the Western dishes in her space.

If I don't feel like cooking, I can just take it out and eat it anytime.

After finishing her meal, Lin Xiaoxiao carried her basket to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lin Xiaoxiao then began a shopping spree.

I chose an iron pot, an iron pot lid, bowls and chopsticks, a thermos, soap, and also a few aluminum lunch boxes.

She also bought several locks, some pastries, vegetable seeds, and almost everything she could get in terms of basic necessities.

Although she doesn't usually need it, it has to be there in public.

While browsing the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Xiaoxiao saw a bicycle parked on the side.

She immediately thought that she already had five bicycles in her space, so should she find an excuse to take one of the ones with license plates out and use it?

We'll sell the rest of the bicycles at a later time.

She asked the people at the supply and marketing cooperative if she could leave her things there first and come back to pick them up later.

After obtaining approval from the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Xiaoxiao went directly to the post office.

She hadn't yet let Su Li know she was safe when she arrived in Heilongjiang Province.

When I arrived at the post office, I found that there were quite a lot of people, with many queuing up.

When it was finally Lin Xiaoxiao's turn, she sent a telegram to Su Li's workplace.

Su Li was overjoyed to receive Lin Xiaoxiao's telegram.

Lin Xiaoxiao said in the telegram that she had arrived safely at the brigade and that the teacher should not worry about her.

Everything went smoothly for me after I arrived here. I even rented a house in town, and the brigade leader took good care of me.

Lin Xiaoxiao briefly explained the situation and then ended the call, as there were still quite a few people queuing behind her.

After sending the telegram, she found a secluded corner, rode out on a license plate, and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up her things.

When she took out the bicycle, she had already thought of how to explain it; she said that she had mailed it before she came.

The items have only just arrived.

With everything ready, she hopped on her bicycle and started her journey home.
